Barwell C of E Academy was inspected in March 2025 and we are proud to say that we have been judged as living up to our foundation as a Church school, enabling our pupils and adults to flourish.

Here are some of the highlights from the report:

• Barwell is a loving school with a strong sense of a caring and supportive community. The Christian vision of ‘love thy neighbour in a flourishing school community’ is deeply embedded into every element of school life.
• Leaders are fiercely inclusive and have high expectations for everyone to be successful. Love is evident in the strong relationships with families and the wider community. It is core to the way the school sees it’s role in ensuring flourishing.
• Everyone is welcome at Barwell, pupils and adults strongly celebrate difference and diversity. This is seen in the way families are greeted, in displays and through the curriculum. This means there is a strong sense of everyone belonging as one of God’s children.
